What about "zen"? I find it relaxing, peaceful. Obviously the anihilating part is not
really in there, but I believe a peaceful state of mind can get us to go through the troubles this year and, in the end, anihilate the lazy part inside us. Oh, btw, 始めまして！今から、このグループの一人で すから一緒に頑張りましょう！;) Edit: I just saw that you already suggested Team Zen Jaseur. So obviously, i'm in with that !

What's Satori? I found two hits on Jisho - サトリ 悟り - the former's meaning is kinda
cool though. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I like Satori a lot, but I have my doubts whether people not knowing any Japanese will be
aware of the meaning.. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Isn't Zen more Chinese than Japanese? 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I'm not an expert on the origins of Buddhism and suchlike but I'm pretty sure these are Japanese words. I suspect there is a Chinese influence on almost everything in Japan's history. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

They are always welcome to google it. Why shoud we base our choice of name on what
others think? 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Well, I guess it's helpful if people not in the know can identify the language studied by the team from the name. However, it's probably not that big of a deal because I expect most of us will add Japanese to our log titles anyway. With that in mind, I don't think we have to go out of our way to choose the simplest word possible. I mean, it doesn't hurt people to learn new words occasionally. And Satori or Zen or any romanized word is certainly more recognisable than う. 1 person has voted this message useful |
